STQARRIJA MILL-KUMMISSJONI NAZZJONALI GĦAR-RIFORMA TAS-SIGURT SOĊJALI

Il-Kummissjoni Nazzjonali għar-Riforma tas-Sigurt'� Soċjali tirreferi għar-rapport li ppreżentat lill-Prim Ministru fit-30 ta' Marzu u li issa 'ie ppubblikat.

Il-Kummissjoni tinnota li saru diversi kummenti pubblici dwar l-istess rapport fuq il-mezzi tax-xandir. Tixtieq tippreċiża li f'dan l-istadju, u kif intqal fir-rapport tagħha, il-Kummissjoni m'għamlet l-ebda rakkomandazzjoni speċifika u lanqas ma ssu''eriet xi bidla partikolari fis-sistema preżenti dwar is-Sigurt'� Soċjali, incluz pensjonijiet. Għalhekk, interpretazzjonijiet u konkluzjonijiet li qed isiru minn ħaddiehor m'għandhomx ji'u attribwiti lill-Kummissjoni.

Il-Kummissjoni, filwaqt li tapprezza kull su''eriment li jaslilha, tappella biex kummenti fuq ix-xogħol tagħha isiru, b'mod xieraq, wara li l-Kummissjoni tissottometti l-konkluzjonijiet finali tagħha.

STATEMENT BY THE NATIONAL COMMISSION ON WELFARE REFORM

The National Commission on Welfare Reform refers to the report which it presented to the Prime Minister on the 30^th March, which report has since been published.

The Commission notes that various public comments have been made in the media about this report. It wishes to point out that at this stage, and as was stated in its report, the Commission has neither made any specific recommendation, nor has it suggested any particular change to the current Social Security system, including pensions. Therefore, interpretations and conclusions made by third parties must not be attributed to the Commission.

The Commission, while appreciating any suggestion that it may receive, appeals for comments on its work to be made, in a proper manner, after the Commission submits its final conclusions.
